Almost all of the post-Han Solo humor that buoyed the original Tron is replaced by a thunderous seriousness (and blue-black color scheme) more akin to The Dark Knight. 2h-279.

When I watched it in IMAX 3D it was easy to revert back to my younger self and just gawk at the exquisite whiz-bang of it all. Derezzed ups the ante in rousing fashion before Solar Sailer glides gracefully in on sighing strings and gently arpeggiating synths. This is not the new Daft Punk album. Watching the movie, I couldn't help but think that this was Daft Punk's attempt at topping their legendary pyramid tour. Its musical score was composed by legendary composer Wendy Carlos, responsible for synthesizer classics such as Switched-On Bach and the soundtracks to A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. And while we knew this was going to be a score since it was first reported nearly two years ago, it's tough to shake the gloom of blown expectations while listening to the same ominous theme as it repeats in slightly mutated forms across the hour-long soundtrack.

If it does, it wouldn't be the first Daft Punk album to be reconsidered over time: people certainly revised their opinion of Human After All after seeing its tracks performed live. The penultimate track Tron Legacy (End Titles) thrillingly expounds the main theme with a tidal wave of a string section accompanied by tweaked synths. These have some lovely moments – Rinzler's dramatic explosions of In the Air Tonight drums, the beautiful ebb and flow of Solar Saile – but there's something faintly underwhelming about them, perhaps because the inspiration of 80s-era Maurice Jarre and Vangelis hangs heavy over them, and dance music has explored both those influences pretty thoroughly in recent years. But there's no getting around the fact that Tron: Legacy gets really exciting when there's no one but Daft Punk in the studio: the corroded synthesisers and overloaded beats of Derezzed; the insouciant strut of End of Line, with its addictive, repetitious melody; the two minutes of Fragile, which – at risk of sounding desperately callow – sounds like the intro to an amazing dance track. That leaves us with a handful of straightforward electronic tracks.
These tracks form the apex of the album, and the music that follows restates and consolidates themes. Tron: Legacy has flashes of that sort of brilliance, but it's downright puny compared to the sheer joy that is "One More Time" or "Around the World". There's being excited about a forthcoming record, then there's being so excited that you start speculating wildly about what it might contain, then there's being so excited you come over all Mike Yarwood and start doing impersonations. What effect might the duo have on the world of the film soundtrack? Tron: Legacy is rated PG and aimed at igniting the imaginations of 10-year-old boys.

But, for better or worse, it turned out to presage virtually every subsequent development in pop for the next decade, from the prevalence of Auto-Tuned vocals to the fetishisation of the 80s to the rise of the Guilty Pleasures phenomenon: it may well be the single most influential album of the last 10 years.

The score keeps another trend going, too. It contains some of the best orchestral percussion I've heard in a long time and you can see why the Blu-ray movie "brings the boom" as a result. The French duo's current move is almost undeniably disappointing, but it's also not a surprise.

In at the deep end: Tron: Legacy is a soundtrack!Daft Punk's phone rings one afternoon, and the French trailblazers agree to score Joe Kosinski's new movie. At least it told you something about the degree of anticipation for the soundtrack. You can add or edit information about Tron: Legacy at musicbrainz.org .

Daft Punk haven't even attempted a can't-miss song in at least five years, and the Tron: Legacy soundtrack keeps that unfortunate streak alive.

The results fall more or less into three categories. On Discovery tracks like "Digital Love", "Something About Us", and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", they employed robotic voice effects to bring out the childlike naïveté of artificial intelligence. But the tour was phenomenal because they were the central characters-- not just a side act-- and because it was delusionally fun. Daft Punk used to be a couple of guys hellbent on making genius dance music who happened to wear goofy robot helmets. It won't necessarily have been better, but there's none of the head-turning WTF? With Tron: Legacy Daft Punk have updated Carlos' original musical vision by delivering a sophisticated integration of acoustic and electronic instrumentation.

As is so often the case with sci-fi, the future hasn't turned out quite as you might have hoped.

When they pull off the combo-- as on the blistering "The Game Has Changed"-- it's thrilling even without an IMAX screen hijacking your senses.

It's a shame that the film's audience will most likely miss this music, having left the theatre during the credits, as it's a lovely final composition. The score keeps another trend going, too. And the music follows suit with endless crescendos of pounding timpani drums and monolithic strings. But their mechanized fantasies have gotten continually darker since then-- consider the much more sinister robo effects on Human After All's "The Brainwasher" and "Television Rules the Nation". Since their last proper LP, 2005's Human After All, the pair staged the greatest dance music tour of all time-- one that blasted its audience with enough visual stimuli to leave them blinking stars for hours.

This is not the new Daft Punk album. When tracks purporting to be from the follow-up to the multimillion-selling Discovery emerged online, a lot of devotees rushed to announce that they were very obviously faked, that two zeitgeist-defining musical geniuses such as Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo couldn't possibly be responsible for anything so shoddy and uninspired. And while the classical arrangements mark a new style for Daft Punk, it's hardly revelatory in the sphere of movie scores at large. In the enormously unlikely event that they were responsible, it was suggested, these tracks were clearly intended as a joke to put people off the scent of their forthcoming masterpiece. The filtered house of their debut album Homework spawned imitations from everyone up to and including Madonna. Last summer, Daft Punk's soundtrack to Tron: Legacy leaked on the internet. The Grid features Jeff Bridges setting the narrative scene in characteristically rich, solemn tones. A sophisticated integration of acoustic and electronic instrumentation.
